Middle Back Pain
The fast-paced lifestyles of today have taken their toll on the backs of America. Currently, back pain is the number one cause of disability in those aged 19-45 and is the second leading cause of missed work days. Total costs for back pain in the US alone are estimated to be in excess of $60 billion annually.
​
A NUMBER OF FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THESE STATISTICS, INCLUDING:
-
overall increases in work demands
-
poor postural habits and lifting techniques
-
overall decreases in physical activity
-
failure to seek immediate care following injury
-
increases in prolonged sitting (at the desk, in the car, in front of the television)
-
lack of periodic spinal checkups and preventative care
-
failure to receive adequate treatment for back injuries (i.e. medications only without proper rehabilitation of tissues)
Our treatments primarily focus on the root cause/s of your problems, which not only results in rapid and effective pain-relief, but most importantly, minimizes the chance of future back problems.
Dr. Steve Alukonis graduated from Life Chiropractic College in 1981. He started his practice in Cocoa beach in 1981. He is a Board Certified Chiropractic Orthopedist and a Fellow of the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedist.
